500E Limited Door Sills

[vo11ce]

Hello, I just ordered a set of limited door sills and I am wondering how I am going to put it on my car. Is glue the way to go because the door sills does not seem to have the factory panels attached to the underside of them.
Part number: B66890000

All of the sets I've seen, including the set on my car, use 2-sided tape. They go over the factory sills.

I was surprised about that as well, as when I bought them I thought it was somehow a replacement. But they were installed on top as @sheward indicates. I got used to it pretty easily.

A nice upgrade from the plastic sill covers imo. If anyone needs more aggravation in their lives, try to remove the stainless covers from the OEM sill covers. I have found the tape that comes on used units to be the equivalent of 3M VHB.

They do but I forget which model. These guys may recall. I want to say a W202 but don't quote me on that.

Those are factory pedal covers on some early 2000's AMG models. The part numbers for all 3 may be in an old forum thread. Last I checked these were still available and relatively inexpensive. The brake and e-brake covers are a perfect fit, the gas pedal cover requires some fiddling and it can slide around if you don't glue it in place.

I think these were part of the W203 Sportcoupe

Did any of the E500E come stock with the metal pedals?

That fits my recollection of how it went. I ordered some cheap chinesium off Amazon that didn't show up, and Rex was like "we can get those, they're not unreasonable."

Me: "Great. Do that please. Thanks."

No.

2phast has a write up on his site for the metal pedal covers along with part numbers. Gas pedal does require a bit of trimming and then it fits great.

5? years ago all 3 pedals were less than $100 from MB

Should be:

170-300-00-04
170-290-01-82
203-430-00-84

Price is up to ~$75 for all three now. years ago it was half that. Some enterprising eBay sellers get well over $100 for them, like this seller (screenshot below) who doesn't even include a matching round-pad ebrake cover! My part numbers above are 3 matching round-dot covers.
